Why do women get to use hormones as an excuse for everything? Its not like men can blame testicles for everything. 'Honey, why are you so moody?' 'Sorry, dear, you know. testicles..' -- Steve from Coupling

Tower View
Its The Little Things
The World Naked Bike Ride protest happened this weekend.

From what I can tell, there were really no incidents. Scotland's ride had a small turnout. San Diego police enforced the nudity law so riders wore loin clothes. In Austin, Texas, the local police also enforced the nudity law so the cyclists wore thongs. Even the men... ew ew ew...
At least the Austin riders got a police escort. Its no wonder though since Lance Armstrong is from Austin. It wouldnt look good for the hometown if they didnt support the cyclists.

Now this world wide event was set up in order to protest the dependency on oil and to promote cycling.

I personally just figured it was a good way to look at breasts.

Take Me Out Of The Ball Game
Its not too often that I go to a baseball game, especially since its not one of my favorite sports. Truth be known, I absolutely hate the game.

Its slow, boring, and absolutely dull. Did I mention that its slow?

So, somehow I got talked into it mainly because a number of my friends from the gym were going. It was something different than that typical group dinner or sit and chat sort of thing.

As we sat there, I will admit this: the game is still slow and boring, but when you are with the right people, you tend to ignore the game altogther.

Out of the dozen of us that were there, perhaps only three or four people were actually paying attention to the field. The rest of us were laughing, making fun of the other people, players, etc. I even got to do the batter cadence from Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "Hey, batter batter batter, swing batter... He can not swing batter.."

There were only three occasions when the rest of us actually were drawn back to the events in front of us.

The first was when a visiting batter hit a homer right towards the our seats. The ball came up, hit just past the fence for the home run, and then bounced thru the bleachers, over the outstretched hands of the kids, and right into the lap of a very large bellied man a few rows in front of us.

Then there was when a couple of the girls, Patti and Debbie, had gone off to us the bathroom. Next thing we know, they are on the field as part of the local promotions, each attempting to put on a frozen t-shirt. They got to keep the t-shirts, but the winner, Debbie, also got four more tickets to another home game.

And we are so used to seeing Debbie take her shirt off, not put one on.

The final incident that drew our eyes forward was a young man who apparently plays baseball for a local small college. After the seventh inning, he began announcing to the rest of the audience that his school was going to defeat State in baseball because they were just that damn good. As it was getting hotter that night, he took off his shirt. Thats when the audience gagged.

The lad was so white that he could have put Casper the Ghost to shame. The worst part was the lad was wearing shorts too big for him.

As he began bending and leaning over his friends, the upper entrance of his backside began to show.. And it showed a lot. It was so bad that this young ball player could have worked as a plumber instead.

With everyone cringing as they were, I just had to say the first thing that came to mind: Just say no to crack!

Signs You Are Having A Bad Monday
1) The emergency network problem that occurred on Friday afternoon and was supposed to be fixed by another department is still there, partly because the other department forgot about it.

2) You rush out to pick up lunch, fight traffic, people, and bad service you get back to your desk just in time to take two bites of your food before the automated schedule on your computer pops up a reminder that you have an important meeting in ten minutes and lunch will be provided.

3) The highlight of your weekend was that some guy was flashing the crack of his arse and everyone at work wants to hear about it.

Background Noise
Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park

I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused...
I dont know whats Worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I dont know why I instigate
And say what I dont mean...
I dont know how I got this way...
I know its not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Tonight...

The band has released an awesome anime video to go with this song. Definately worth checking it out.
